About This Item
No Binding. Near Fine/No Jacket. 24mo - over 5 - 5¾" tall. Autographed letter on Saturday Review stationery, no date. The letter is a rejection addressed to the poet Edsel Ford with extensive critical feedback and an invitation to revise and resubmit "or just tell me to go to hell." Ciardi was poetry editor of the Saturday Review from 1956-1972, so the letter could have been written anytime during that tenure. I have not done research to verify whether Mr. Ford revised the poem or if it was ever published. 3 pages on small stationery sheets, 3 ½ x 5 ½ inches, green paper. Crease at left upper corners of 2d and 3d sheets, possible trifold creases for mailing.
